Chains of the Heretic

Went to a completely different place than expected after the buildup of the first 2 books (from fantasy western and promises of imperial intrigues and civil war to gulliver in the land of giants and prison break) and I definitely did not like that and got mightly bored. Read half, gave up. Also, the long expected fleshing up of a too bare a worldbuilding still did not come, and that was ok for a first book in a trilogy, tolerable in 2, but not in the entire series.
